1993 Nolan Ryan Texas Rangers Game-Used & Autographed Home Jersey

Nolan Ryan’s 1993 Texas Rangers Game-Worn Jersey: A Legendary Piece of Baseball History

An Iconic Career

Nolan Ryan, a name synonymous with baseball excellence, was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1999. Renowned for his unparalleled achievements, Ryan threw an astounding seven no-hitters, the most in Major League Baseball history. His illustrious career also includes leading the MLB in strikeouts 11 times and securing a World Series Championship in 1969. With the most career strikeouts by a wide margin, Ryan’s legacy is etched in the annals of baseball history.

The Jersey’s Unique Features

This remarkable jersey, a testament to Ryan’s final season with the Texas Rangers, is adorned with distinctive features that highlight its authenticity and historical significance:

• Front Left Tail Tag: A tackle twill tag with “SET 2/18 1993” embroidered in blue stitching.
• Manufacturer’s Tag: Inside the rear collar, a “W.A. Goodman & Sons” size “46” tag with washing instructions.
• Team and Player Details: The front reads “Rangers,” with player number “34” on both the front and back, crafted in blue on red tackle twill.
• Player Name: “RYAN” in blue tackle twill sewn directly onto the jersey’s back.
• Commemorative Patch: A “TEXAS RANGERS BASEBALL ARLINGTON STADIUM 1972-1993” patch on the left sleeve.

A Personal Touch

Adding to its allure, Nolan Ryan personally signed the front of the jersey in blue marker, inscribing, “‘93 Rangers – 3.19 E.R.A. – 234 Wins – 5,714 K’s – 7 No Hitters.” This signature, accompanied by an ALOA from JSA, an additional LOA, and a Nolan Ryan Foundation LOA, is rated an 8 overall, underscoring its authenticity and value.

Game-Worn Provenance

Ryan’s jerseys for the 1993 season were ordered with the intent to be worn in each start and then taken out of play. This particular jersey, with its 2/18 set tagging, was likely worn earlier in the season during one of his 13 starts. Presented to us as game-used, it shows appropriate use, making it a coveted piece for any baseball memorabilia auctions enthusiast.
